Lumberjacks Finally Break Through!
Since their inception in 2014, the Lumberjacks have continually been a powerhouse in the Upper Valley. Mixing skill with alcohol into a perfect hockey cocktail. That cocktail was only good enough for second place until 2020. Is there a coincidence that the Lumberjacks were winners around the same time a global pandemic was starting to emerge? I don't think so.
